Matter changes from solid to liquid at its melting point, because this change is called melting. Freezing point is about the same as melting point, but it can be slightly lower, so melting point should always be used.

Does melting occur when a substance changes from a liquid to a solid?

This change in the state of matter (liquid to solid) is called freezing, not melting; it is a physical change, the chemical nature of the molecules is not changed.


A change of occurs during both freezing and melting?

A change in temperature occurs during both freezing and melting. Freezing and melting are physical changes since the chemical contents of the matter do not change.


How are freezing point and melting point alike?

The freezing point and melting point are both physical properties of a substance that indicate the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid (melting point) or from a liquid to a solid (freezing point). Both points represent the temperature at which the substance transitions between these two states.

Name the state change occurring in each situation?

There are three states of matter that exist on earth: solids, liquids and gasses. When matter goes from a solid state to a liquid, that matter is said to have melted. From liquid to gas it is called vaporizing. From a gas to a liquid is condensation and from liquid to solid is freezing.


Difference Between Melting And Freezing?

Melting is when a solid forms in to a liquid causing it to melt. For an example an ice cube is a solid and when it melts into water it turns into a liquid. Freezing is when a liquid forms into a solid. for an example water can freeze up and turn it into an ice cube. Look i said before ice cube is a solid so if water turns into a solid it is freezing.


What two conditions can change the state of matter?

1) melting-solid state changes into liquid state and 2)freezing-liquid state changes into solid state


What names are given to the changes in states of matter?
